Economic Growth Alliance – Five County Report
The Economic Growth Alliance was formed in recognition of the six-county region’s influence as an economic unit of interrelated counties whose impact is greater than its individual parts, and where regional cooperation is integral to promoting the area’s economic development initiatives.
In their second annual economic forecast for the Economic Growth Alliance, a partnership of six southeastern Michigan counties, George Fulton and Don Grimes of the U-M Institute for Research on Labor, Employment, and the Economy say that the region will gain about 24,000 jobs this year, more than 13,000 jobs in 2012 and another 17,000 the year after.
